Roulette and American Idol Props

Trying to guess who will be voted off next on American Idol is almost as complicated and trying to figure out where the roulette wheel will stop next. Although not really comparable to the game of roulette, American Idol is just as fun to watch, and even to play. The online casino even offers entertainment fans props on who will be the winner of the show, and who will be voted off next. So if you love games of chance like roulette, you are sure to love playing American Idol at the online casino. Last week, an unexpected contestant got the boot, which may have caused many of you to gawk at the TV in shock!

This season`s most popular "American Idol" finalist Chris Daughtry did an Elvis and left the building as he was voted off Wednesday night in a shocking upset. Contestants sang Elvis Presley classics two songs each in Tuesday night`s program. Daughtry`s cover of The King`s "Suspicious Minds" drew rave reviews from judges - including Paula Abdul who predicted, "See you in the finals." Daughtry who many thought was a favorite to win the competition was visibly shocked at the end when host Ryan Seacrest announced that he`d be heading home.

"Surprised?" Host Ryan Seacrest asked an unsmiling Daughtry. "Yes," the 26-year-old rocker replied, despite being drowned out by screams of "Nooooooooo!" While the shocked audience boo`d, the remaining "Idols" -Taylor Hicks, Katharine McPhee and Elliott Yamin - were in total disbelief. Judge Simon Cowell looked dazed and pained, as if he realized his show could take a hit in the ratings for the finale without Chris competing for the top prize. Sitting next to him, Paula wept as usual.
